I came across an unexpected character, a snapper, my first. Within a few minutes, a crowd formed around this dinosaur-like creature, as it painstakingly clumped its way, rather ungracefully for my taste, across the path and a grassy ascending hill, heading for a large bed of reeds on the other side of the road. Hands reached into pockets to pull cell phones and snap a couple digital pictures of the thing. Meanwhile, a few of us, acting as good caring Samaritans, moved to stand on the road to save the little oddity from being turned into a dead and flattened oddity.
A little while later, I saw a shirtless young man, wearing a single black glove and playing with a baton, making the same series of twirls, over and over, with dogged determination. For some reason, I found myself wishing he'd stop. So there you have it. Don't say I never shared anything with you.
Be well, and if you're looking for strange occurrences, take a walk around the nearest University grounds, I'll bet you a great deal that you will not be disappointed.
